BIDDEFORD DEMOCRATS
Agitate the Publication OF Party
Newspaper


Special to kennebec Journal
BIppEroRp, Dec. ).
The democrats of this city are again agi
tating the subject of publishing a newspaper
that will serve as their political organ. The
scheme that is now being agtated is that of
organizing A stock company with capital of
about SIS 900, and to put daily into the
field here between this and the March cleo
ton. The leaCers of the party have held
one or two conferences recently and it is
said that enough money was pledged to make
a go of the project. William Emery of Al
fred is mentioned as one of the most inter
ested parties, aud then there are ex-Mayor
Edward W Staples. his brother, Orrin H.,
the Shaws, Timothy, Jr.. who is Biddeford's s
postmaster, and his son, Jere G., the present
street commissioner. Carlos Heard and some
of the smaller frye of this city and such
men as Stephen S. Mitchell, who was re-
Gently appointed collector of the port, Post
master Mckenny, Hampden Fairfield, son of
the late Gov. Fairfield, and Joseph G. Deer
ing, a wealthy lumber merchant of Saco.
There is, however, not much probability of
the democrats realizing their ne wspaper air
castle. The project will likely begin and
end in talk.

THE CRISIS PASSED.
Public Opinion Most Favorable 10 \.
Sadi-CarnOt.
The Republic About to Enter Upon
Another Propitious Presidency.
PARIS Dec. 8.

iAHIs lJec y.
The Berlin Post predicts that in the spring
both the Right and Radicals in France will
attempt a coup to bring about war in order
to obtain possession of the government.
The Post also says that Sadi-Carnot will
be unable long to keep up the see-saw which
conflicting parties will make of the Pfesi-
dency.
Other European newspapers express favor
able opinions of the new President.
Count kal0uky, in an interview today, OBJ
served that the issue of the crises in France
was most satisfactory, affording proof that at
the decisive moment common sense and
moderation will triumph over party passion.
This opinion is shared by most Austrian
statesmen.
The Fuendenblatt of Vienna says it ID
convinced that Sad- Carnot will act in the
the interests of peace.
Owing to the holiday in Russia little COM
ment is heard on the Presidential election In
France. The Svet says that France will
enjoy more honest government while other
wise there will be little change.
The London Standard says:
There is no reason why Sadi Carnot should
not make good President and avoid the
shoals which wrecked Grevy. He cannot
do better than induce the members Of the
Rouvier cabinet to return to their posts.
The London Telegraph says:
Sadi-Carnot is a visible protest against cor
ruption in high places. He is an economist
and a man of peace, so far NJ can be Judged.
| The London News says:
| Sadi-Carnot is respectability personi6ed
and France has every reason to feel gratified
at his election.
| Prefects in all department reports an ex-
cellent impression produced by NJ. Sadi-Car-
not. II is not probable the cabinet will be
| formed before Thursday.
| Boulanger sent telegram to M. Sadi-
CarDot, congratulatng his former colleague
in the ministry upon being raised to the
| Presidency.
